We are delighted to recognise the generosity of those who pledge their support to the University in their will, through membership of the Heslington Circle. As a member of the Circle you will be invited to an annual reception and other events and be kept informed of developments within the University.

The details of your will are naturally a private matter and we appreciate that some people may choose to keep their intentions to themselves. At the University we will treat any legacy gift in the utmost confidence as requested.

If you are happy to share your plans, we very much appreciate the opportunity to work with you to agree how you would like your gift to be used.

We encourage you to complete our Let us know your intentions form. This does not commit you in any way, it simply includes us in your current plans and enables us to respond appropriately.

With your help we can continue to create independent thinkers, pursue academic excellence and help great minds to thrive. We aim to help students to achieve their full potential, regardless of background or financial situation.

A gift to York in your will, large or small, will make an incredible difference. Thank you very much for your support.

Professor Koen Lamberts
